Yin Yang by Nicolas Thomkins

Free of all convention, YIN YANG has its origins in the harmony of forms. YIN YANG unites the dynamic opposites of ancient Chinese philosophy into a harmonious interplay of color and form. A work of art that unites two elements into a flowing form was the result of close cooperation between the designer and the development team.

This is really neat and cute, I especially like how he chose not to make a cushioned seat throughout but made two circle ‘pillows’ instead – cute! But the chair seems kind of impractical to me though… I wouldn’t put it in my house or in my backyard, because it creates a barrier between people sitting and I woudn’t want a wall between me and my guests. And then again, if one were to put it in a public place, it might be a bit too intimate for strangers to be facing each other just like that. So yeah, even though I like the sleek and elegant look of this chair, it is clearly not for me.
